Working Mechanism:

Primary Batteries (Non-Rechargeable): Alkaline (Zn/Alkaline/MnO₂): Moderate cost, high performance, commonly used in regular electronic items. Magnesium (Mg/MnO₂): High capacity, long shelf life; used in military and aircraft radio. Mercury (Zn/HgO): High capacity, long shelf life; found in medical devices like hearing aids. Lithium Variants: High energy density; includes solid cathode, soluble cathode, and solid electrolyte types. Silver/Zinc (Zn/Ag₂O): Highest capacity, flat discharge, used in hearing aids and photography. Secondary Batteries (Rechargeable): Lead-Acid Batteries: Automotive use, e.g., starting, lighting, and ignition. Lithium-Ion Batteries: Common in consumer electronics (phones, laptops) and electric vehicles. Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH): Found in hybrid vehicles and power tools.

There are a few main differences

Energy Source: Cell: Generates electricity directly from a chemical reaction or fuel source. Battery: Stores energy pre-supplied or charged. Composition: Cell: Single electrochemical unit. Battery: Collection of cells to enhance voltage and capacity. Usage: Cell: Often used in high-demand, specialized applications. Battery: Found in everyday electronics for sustained power.
